After a business trip a couple of months earlier, I returned to the Vulcan with family members and booked a larger room. What I like about the hotel is its location, the attentive staff and the pleasant ambiance. The breakfasts are excellent too and decent value. Overall, the Vulcan offers value for money in a city where accommodation prices are...

The staff were very friendly upon our arrival, and went out of their way to point us in the right direction to bus stations, train stations and certain landmarks. They weren't always 100% accurate, but I admired their enthusiasm!
The bedroom was clean and tidy, functioning bathroom, good shower, mini bar and television. We had a view of another building,...

My friend and I stayed in a room at the Vulcan for a work conference we were attending in Darling Harbour. We couldn't fault the place. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and had all we needed - a TV, bar fridge, desk, kettle etc. The bathroom was small, but it was adequate. We...

Thank you for your review Deevz, we are always glad to accommodate people with a room on the floors that have lifts, when specifically requested. As we are a boutique hotel there is one floor at the top which does not have lift access.

Very attentive staff in all areas of the hotel. Room was clean and quiet. Easy walking access to many tourist locations. The neighborhood was clean and you felt safe walking in any direction. The breakfast options were nice with a good variety. We felt like we were very well taken care of and really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this...

We were allocated a loft floor bedroom on the 4th floor which can only be accessed via steep and narrow stairs. It really was disappointing and very little space to stand upright! We asked to be moved and staff were very helpful. Room 215 was much more suitable. The hotel is well maintained for an older style hotel and it...

After visiting our first intended hotel (which was god awful) we walked down to the Vulcan and were met with the most amazingly friendly staff (good one girls). We asked to inspect a room before booking, and were shown straight away the most beautiful, elegant, clean and comfortable room. The bed was like a cloud, best night sleep, and they...

People I met were nice, professional. But...
Poor review based on rate vs e.g. QT and the following feedback:
Room 310
- Arrived in room with toilet permanently running which I had to reach in the top and stop
- Minibar wide open with a towel stuffed in it
- Peeling window frames
- No hotel made room service (think...

Thank you for your comments rdflloyd. Your experience at our boutique hotel is important to us, as a heritage building we are always upgrading our hotel and a new ironing room is being built therefore we have scaffolding set up temporarily.
There was no charge for WiFi, its free at our hotel.

My partner and I stayed here with our family and friends after our wedding around the corner in Chippendale.
It was a great hotel with nice boutique rooms. There is a courtyard and a bar where you can also have breakfast in the morning for an additional cost.
They didn't offer a cheaper wedding rate even though we had quite...
